Clachan is a small village in North Kintyre, Argyll & Bute, Scotland.
The church is surrounded by carved stone statues of the chiefs of the Clan Alasdair.
Another group of standing stones (the tallest of which is 3.4 metres), and a burial cist, are found to the south of Clachan, near Ballochroy Farm.
[3] The last major battle to be fought in Kintyre took place on the steep slopes of Loup Hill in May 1689.
It was once the home of Coll McAlester, who led the first large settlement of highlanders in North Carolina at Cross Creek in the Cape Fear River valley in 1739, and later the home of Sir William MacKinnon.
